North Korea's Foreign Ministry criticized the U.S. over the 'Golden Dome' project, a new defense system that President Donald Trump promised to develop last week, which he said would include space-based interceptors. 'This is a threatening and highly dangerous initiative, a typical product of America First,' the North Korean Foreign Ministry stated, adding: 'This initiative represents the peak of self-righteousness, arrogance, condescending and arbitrary practice - and it is a scenario of nuclear war in outer space.' Trump, it should be noted, said the system would be operational by the end of his White House term in 2029.
